R help - Mar 2002 - R hosting

Hi, I am thinking about setting a service to provide R hosting on Linux.  
Would anyone be interested?

The idea is that a machine would be available that would provide R, Apache, 
MySQL, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python.  Users could remotely login to use R 
directly or could use it to develop applications that use R.  Also, this 
would save people the trouble of installing and upgrading R.  This would be 
especially useful for people who want to work with Rweb or Rcgi or who 
frequently travel and would like to use R and their stored data sets the 
same way they might use Hotmail or Yahoo Mail.

Basically, I'm picturing something that would be like JTLNet's shared 
hosting ( http://www.jtlnet.com/pkg_linux.html ), but with R installed.  Or 
is someone providing this already?

Please leave a message here http://www.liquidmarkets.com/m.php?m=contact if 
you might be interested.

I am not sure how useful this would be ... one use might be to have it
running on some heavy metal so that users could run computer intensive
task that would take an age to run on a desktop machine.
